Yeah, I know Emu DOESN'T recommend it, but is it pretty easy to get the 
knob board out?  Do the knobs just pull off?  I'm seriously thinking about 
doing a custom paint job on mine, and then having a third party 
re-silkscreen the lettering on.  Anyway, for those that have pulled it 
apart already, is it difficult to get the case by itself?

Since you've already opened it up (otherwise I would recommend taking it 
to your dealer) here's how to put it back together.  Put the front panel 
face down on something that doesn't push where the knobs go (so you can 
put the knob board back in without it bumping anything).  Then, one by 
one, put the lightpipes in with the two prongs on the left and right 
(horizontal).  Then put the board carefully back down on the lightpipes 
and screw it back in.  I suppose you could put a little blob of 
superglue around the top of the lightpipe ring.  Make sure they all dry 
before you put the board in however.
